An Immaculate Misconception

Work:: An Immaculate Misconception (S0288583751)

The 37 year old Dr Laidlaw needs a womb to test her invention of a cure for male infertility. She also wants a child; her biological clock is ticking. So she looks no further than herself...Profound moral and social issues are explored in this story of a female professor experimenting on herself in this brave new world where sex is no longer a vital part of reproduction. An Immaculate Misconception is a highly intelligent and imaginative play, exploring the ethical issues surrounding a revolutionary form of test tube fertilization -ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). It is also a witty and deeply thoughtful piece about the meaning of parenthood.
